PGM FF 75 - Red Cover 1 of 3 (Grade is in!) 1 1

[ChrispyC66]

Grade me please.

Notes 

• Pages OW-W. 
• FC: Great gloss, light stress on staples. 1/8” tear and 1/2” crease on right edge in Galactus’ helm. The corners are slightly rounded. The 1/2” yellow streak on lower left front cover is not a spine tick or tear. It appears to be a printing error where the red ink failed to cover the yellow ink from the first pass. 
  BC: Very clean. Light smudge on left edge near “wrist watches”. Doesn’t penetrate cover.
• Pressed: Yes

Look for PGM Red Covers 2 and 3!

 Thanks!

7.5

7.5 seems right. The colors seem a bit soft for that issue; is that a production thing or is there fading?

I think it’s the photo. Here’s a pic before it was pressed. Light was from left which is why that side is lighter.

Oh yep, that's better.

Is there a small stain or splotchy mark under the Thing's armpit in the top left corner?

Yes. It’s dirt that was left in place during dry cleaning so the spine wouldn’t be affected.

8.0

[ChrispyC66]

I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone. 

[comicginger1789]

8.0 with chance at 8.5 

[ChrispyC66]

Unfortunately, we all got this one wrong. I thought it was a 7.5 

Here are the notes

 

You tell me, did they get it right?

I mean, they found a stain...I dunno, looks like a damn fine 6.0. 

To be honest, the spine appears worse in the updated photo than the originals. Going off the updated graded pic, I would personally call it 6.5-7.0
